Sign of the times at Livingston’s legendary Murray Bar: No more dogs

There’s a combination Milk-Bones dispenser and water dish on the sidewalk just up the way. Over on the corner a man is taking advantage of the spring sunshine for an educational session teaching his young shepherd to sit before crossing the street.

Parked nearby is an early 2000s Subaru Outback — in parts of Montana considered the unofficial state vehicle — with at least two stickers on a rear window professing the driver’s preference of canines over humans.

There’s no question, Livingston is a dog town. But starting last week one more place joined the list of spots where pups aren’t welcome, and some locals lament the change as another indicator their Montana way of life is dying.
